THE DARKEST HOUR.

For a period of four years I've been
victim of very severe and agonizing
case of salt rheum, which affected my
hands to such an extent that they almost
became burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying,
compelling me to keep it covered all the
time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for var
ious preparations, but instead of benefits
ing my condition. they all seemed to
stimulate and encourage the progress of
the miserable disease, until had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, the darkest hour
is just before day." and am reJoiced to
know that a positive cure has been found,
which is known as B. B. B.-Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief. My
hand has been cured and resembles
burnt surface after being healed over,
more than anything else. 1t has also
cured my two children of loathsome
form of itch which has resisted all pres
vious treatment. / refer to any business

ON RECORD FOR NICHOLS.
MarksVillc Review.

AS Gen. Nichols has signified his
willingness to accept the nomination
for Governor if rendered him by the
Democratic Convention, we desire t"
nut the Review on record as tavorlng
his nomination and election. The Re-
view has ever been outspOken in its
admiration for Gen. Nichols. His
purity of character; his answering
devotion to the best interests OF his
beloved State; his manly indepen-
dence Of rings. cliques and bosses; his
record in the field as soldier evidenced
by his manned body, all conduce to
make Francis T. Nichols man of
whe,n every true Louisianian may just
ly feel proud. a man whom we should
delight to honor. The character of
our State, on the pages that are re-
plcte with political corruption and un
holy alliances, in rs bold and pure re-
lief in its sphere of action AS do the
names OF Washington, Lee and Stone
wall jackson in theirs He has indeed
been q stonewall against RadicAlism.
and equally firm and immovable has he
proven against corruption III his OWD
party. Shat he has shown by his acts
he is mere of Il friend of the people and
the interests of his State, than to the
personal Interests of professional poll
ticians, has aroused against him all
those who follow politics as !, means to
an end personal to themselves. We
love him fer the enemies he has made"
His fitness for the position as Chief
MAGISTRATE of our State needs at the
hands of the people no stronger in
dorsement No man in fine State could
evoke such bitter opposition from the
powers that be and their adherents
than Francis Z. Nichols: because 40
man in the State is known to embOdy
so strongly in his character principles
antagonistic TO ring rule. bosslsm and
personal government. With Nichols
as Governor they know that the close
corporation that now exists in the State
will pass away, and Democrats of all
factions will be treated as brothers, as
he will have no friends to reward and
No enemies to punish" in his own party.
This will suit the people, but not the
politicians. In Il word, Gen. Nichols
will be Governor Of the State Of Loni
siaua and not the representative head
of any faction Of his party, Under his
administration no Democrat will be
ostracised because he exercised the
right of opposing his nomination. Gov.
Nichols will be so much Governor Of
the whole State that he will see to it
that our Republican opponents are &C
corded their rights. This he will do as
the soldier, statesman and patriot that
he is. Were we now the only person
in the State in favor of the nomination
of Francis t. Nichols. the Review
would still advocate his nomination.
We have tried him and we know him.
May he be the next Governor of Loui |
siana.

he FIRED HIM.

An editor died and slowly wendell his
way down to where he supposed "a warm
reception awaited him. The devil met
him and said: For many years thou
hass borne the blame for the errors
that the printers made in the paper;
The paper has gone, alas, for 81; and
the 81. alas has often failed to come
in. The printers have bedeviled thee
for wages Saturday nights when thou
hadst not q durn cent to thy name.
Men have taken your paper without
paying for it and cursed thee for not
getting up better paper. Thou hast
been called dead beat by the passen-
ger conductor when thon hast shown
thy annual pass to their cnvious gaze:
All these things thou hast horne in 81
lence. Thou eanst not come in here"
And he fred him. As he did 40 he
murmured to himself: Heaven is his
home and besides, it we had let him
come in here he would have been con-
tinnally dunning his delinquent sub
seribers, and thus created discord in
my kingdom. Tx.

AN ANALOGUE.

The present attitude OF large num-
Der OF administration Democrats, who
are now dev0ting their energies TO the
development of our agriculture and
have renowned all pan ticipation in
politics, reminds us of the fable of the
old rat, who retired from the world.
He had been the leader of &; gang of
rats that infested the premises of very
estimabIe citizen. His Expectations
had been numerous aud prolonged
through many years. So when the
declaration was made by this old sin
ner that he intended to withdraw from
the activity of pubIic life to the pleas
ing surroundings of a vntuous domes-
ITCHY. complete surprise mingled with
incteiulity, was depicted on the vlsage
of every glay rat. In accordance with
his announcement the old rat sure
enough disappeared from his previous
hauutS, but SO complete was his retira
cy that general suspicion began to be
aroused among the other rats. So all
the rats organized themselves into a
committee of investigation, rushed in
upon the old rat IN his den, and behold
they found him il the middle OF an
elegant big cheese. Just so with these
old Democrats. They want to divert
attention and suppress discussion while
they quietly nibble the political cheese.

Communication in Assertion Democrat.
ANSWERED.

The Bienville New Era also comes to
the front with the interrogatories
which are yet unanswered.
AIf Francis L. Nichols or any other
eAhtlemen were elected Governor OF
this State, would his supporters con
denim him for selecting his appOlntees
from among themselves9 Would they
demand such appointments to be made
from the other wing OF the party
These are questions which naturally
present themselves to an unbiased OBJ
server and reader of the objections
raised to the present State admins
tratisn."
The above extract from the Bienville
New Era says its heterogeneous have
not yet been answered.
1t ia highly probable that Gen.
Nichols, if elected Governor, would
select his advisers and officials from his
own friends, hut thai is not all that he
would do. In the event of their dis
honesty, and Indictment by Il Grand
Jury, he would dismiss them at once.
and appoint honest men to fill their
places. Again. in the event OF an Off
Gel being charged with mafeasance In
office, he would recommend legisla-
tive investigation of his official acts,
and neither ignore them. or throw cold
water over any proceedings tending to
shelter the accused. Again, knowing
one of his officials to be dishonest, he
would NOT appoint him to an office. or
permit him to hold it after the dis
cOvery.
4 Governor may be thoroughly
honest himself, yet from feelings of
friendship, may fail to do justice to his
constituency.
The conduct of Gen. Nichols, when
in office, conclusiveIy establishes the
fact that he had correct idea of the
responsibility and dignity of the posi-
ton he occupied. and the probability is
that he would take the same stand if
reelected.
We trnst that the Bienville Era will
receive our reply in good part. for it ia
important that the opening canvass
should be conducted free from per
sonalities, and be confined solely to the
public acts of the candidates.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Y. o. Chronicle.

The Picayune has manly defense OF
the President, against the premature
explosions Of wrath and criticism OF
those w no denounce him for an onis-
sion. to sign the River and Harb0r Bill.
As that journal may be accepted as the
organ OF Senator Gibson, who has been
the most active, earnest and effective
champion Of that bill, its utttrances
have great weight and significance.
To expect the President TO sign off
hand, without % thorough or examina-
ton, bill which embodies doubtless
as many jobs, as meritOrlOns and legi-
innate provisions, Is not only unreason-
able, but inconsistent with the high
commentator he has received from
all honest men for his hitherto action
in regard to many other bills vetoed by
him.
The real blame for the failure Of this
bill attaches To Congress, Which did not
discharge wisely and industriousEy its
duties, in maturing and enacting bills
in time to afford the President an OPP
pOrtunity of revising aud examining
them.
There is too an impeachment to the
proper exercise of the Presidents tunc-
ton, in tie constitutional limitation OF
the SESSION OF CONGRESS-, 10 Three
months and in the omission from the
Federal instrument, Of that wise provi
sion, which was embodied III the Con
federate constitution, giving the lresl
dent the power to veto Il section or pro-
vision of u bill without vetoing the
whole enactment.
Such provision is absolutely essential,
to enable the President To exercise the
veto mower wisely and protect the pco-
pie and the government from j"bbery.

RESCUED FROM RADICALIsM
Shreveport Times.

The People of Louisiana want man
for chief magistrate who first keeps his
word, and then purSues political poll
cies in accord with the views OF his
people. Eighteen hundred and seventy
six was not 1886. and Gen. Nichols com-
ing into power Ten years ago with
pledges, was NOT the Gen. Nichols Of
to- day. Rescuing Louisiana from radi-
calism required tender and delicate
handling, even after the people had
spoken at the polls. Democrats with
memories know what were the cond!-
tons of 1876.
